Jenkins named full-time starter at right corner

IRVING – It’s official: Mike Jenkins is the full-time starter at right corner for the Dallas Cowboys.

After alternating starts with Orlando Scandrick the first three games, Jenkins will line up against the Broncos on Sunday knowing the job is finally his.

“It made both of us better,” Jenkins said of the competition. “Orlando is like my brother.”

Scandrick said he looks forward to getting another shot at a starting job down the road. Until then, he’s content with playing the slot in the sub packages.

“I’m not going to make excuses,” Scandrick said. “I didn’t play as well as I wanted to when I got my opportunity. The NFL is all about timing and opportunity, so I’m going to have to wait my turn now.”
